Publisher's summary

The Dark Yorkshire Series - fast-paced crime fiction stories featuring DI Nathaniel Caslin.

The first three full-length books in this best-selling series are brought together for the first time in this great value set.

DIVIDED HOUSE

The public face. A private reality. Sometimes, the dead have a lot to hide....

DI Nathaniel Caslin’s life is a mess. He works the minimum, abuses substances to survive the day, and drinks his nights away. A once-promising career is in freefall.

Investigating the death of an ex-serviceman in police custody reveals the disappearance of a young family. No one noticed. No one seems to care. In the grip of a bitter Yorkshire winter, a family home reluctantly offers up its grisly secrets. Out on the moors, a murder scene of horrific brutality demands Caslin's focused attention. In the search for answers, is anyone who they claim to be?

Haunted by the ghosts of the past, Caslin is pushed to his limits. Will this case break him or be his path to redemption?

BLACKLIGHT

Two women are missing. One who has it all. The other has lost everything....

DI Nathaniel Caslin is in conflict with his inner demons. His career is resurgent, but the greater battle, that with his addiction, is still raging...and he is losing.

An abandoned car and a desperate call to the police lead Caslin into the heart of two families where secrets and lies are a way of life. What links the fate of an MP's granddaughter and that of a recovering drug addict working in the sex trade?

Past horrors and personal scandals tag with the present as the tension mounts. Trust in those closest to him is brought into question as Caslin pursues a deadly adversary. Lives hang in the balance and all the while, the clock is ticking....

THE DOGS IN THE STREET

A murdered family man. A young woman tortured and set on fire. A face from the past....

DI Nathaniel Caslin is stable for the first time in years. Now he can look to the future, or so he thought. Granting a small favour to a friend can often be anything but simple....

When the only link between two apparently random murders appears to be an aging Catholic priest, Caslin is thrust into a world of long-buried secrets. Drawing unwanted attention from the intelligence services, he must consider if the man he once trusted above all others is now playing by his own rules. With professional killers circling, Caslin must face uncomfortable truths about those seeking redemption. Sometimes, justice is best served from the wrong side of the law.

With the net tightening, the level of threat increases. Will Caslin, along with those closest to him, be the last victims of a forgotten conflict?

The Dark Yorkshire Series 1-3

These stories kept my interest from the beginning and the twist in the story wanted me to not stop listening.

Great series

I am a fan of JM Dalgliesh and have read all of his series. He does a great job developing a story and the characters. DI Nathaniel is not my fave character at least not in the beginning as he is so self-destructive, selfish and never shares info with his colleagues. He does grow as a character through the series which is something I look for in books.
To note: in Blacklight, JM Dalgliesh seems to have gotten his story from a real US serial killer, Israel Keys. And also borrowed a scenario from an unsolved (I think) New York serial killer, even down to the 911 recording of the escort and her bodyguard. Glad I knew the stories. Israel Keys was absolutely sick and also stitched the victims eyes open.

intense, human, well written and performed

The title says it all, really. Having books 1-3 (#3 being my fave) in one book is perfect for me. I will be acquiring the next book, or books, in the series.

Too Drawn Out

Really well written and wonderful narration but it drags. If you like a longer slower novel you will love this.
